The 12 Best Makeup Shades for Work

Dramatic smoky eyes and glossy purple lips don't really have a place at the office (well, unless your office is a nightclub). Here's what does: flushed cheeks, rose-gold eyes, and bright lips. So loosen up, lean in a little, and discover 12 new unexpected shades to get you through the daily grind.

PEACH BLUSH

It doesn't matter if you're going on a date or to a 9 A.M. status meeting: A washed-out complexion won't do you any favors. That's where peach blush comes in. It keeps you skin from looking sallow and goes great with warm metallic eye shadow, like bronze, copper, rose-gold, or champagne. We love Nars Blush in Sex Appeal. Its matte finish is subtle, natural-looking, and nearly impossible to overdo.
